Janice Dickinson: Biography

Header image: Janice Dickinson
Say what you like about Janice Dickinson because she doesn't care. From Paris to New York to Milan, Janice broke down barriers in the fashion industry all while living the high life at Studio 54.

In the late 1970's Janice's career hit its peak, receiving campaigns with Revlon, JVC, Calvin Klein, Versace and countless magazine covers, VOGUE, ELLE and COSMOPOLITAN among them. However, due to substance abuse issues, Dickinson's career began to falter in the late 1980's leading to Dickinson's successful reinvention as a photographer based in Los Angeles.

In 2002 she wrote her memoir, No Lifeguard on Duty, which became a sensational bestseller, offering a cautionary tale about the dangers of living the high life. Then in 2003 Dickinson appeared on the hit UPN television series America's Next Top Model and became an instant sensation once again. She followed up No Lifeguard on Duty with Everything About Me is Fake...And I'm Perfect, which was also a great success. She has also written several articles for the magazines that she used to grace the covers of, namely VOGUE, MORE and FQ.

She is the mother of Nathan (May 5, 1987), her son with Simon Fields and she also has a daughter with Michael Birnbaum, Savannah who was born on February 23, 1994. She resides in Beverly Hills, California.
